Chapter 1577

.

It was March 61th, just after 3 AM.

Inside the elevator of Cui Hu Building, Shi Lei had yet to guess what kind of basic material technology Li Chai had completed when the elevator arrived at the temporary R&D and Manufacturing Center.

Shi Lei and Li Chai were the first to step out of the elevator. Li Chai led the elite team and followed behind them. Li Chai smiled and said, "Stone Head, actually, the snow-silver project has been improved."

The snow-silver technology was a spoil of war that Shi Lei had obtained from the Kampas region. It was a memory metal with excellent properties. Not only did it have high strength, it also had very good ductility.

The two contradictory properties had merged into one!

Shi Lei's heart skipped a beat and he asked, "Little Li, what kind of improvements did you make to the snow-silver?"

Li Chai gave a mischievous smile and said, "Stone Head, I can't explain it to you in terms of technology. Let's not look at advertisements. Let's look at the effects. How about it? "

"Fine!" Shi Lei rolled his eyes. However, Shi Lei was not angry. Shi Lei was indeed very knowledgeable when it came to materials science.

Under Li Chai's lead, the six of them walked into the temporary R&D and Manufacturing Center. "Stone Head, you guys wait for me here for a while. I'll immediately go and get the deep-diving equipment."

Shi Lei asked suspiciously, "Do you need help?"

Li Chai gave a mysterious smile and said, "No need!"

Shi Lei became even more suspicious. The deep-diving equipment could be brought over without help? Could it be that the deep-diving equipment that Li Chai had developed was a miniaturized submarine?

Indeed, the larger the diving equipment, the harder it would be to dive to the depths of the sea. A larger size meant more internal space. It required a better construction structure and better basic manufacturing materials to be able to enter the deep sea domain.

The smaller the diving equipment, the smaller the size, the lower the requirements for the materials. This was also why deep-diving equipment for scientific research was always very small.

Although Shi Lei did not understand basic material science, Shi Lei still understood the relationship between the volume of the equipment and the depth of the dive.

Thinking of this, Shi Lei smiled bitterly in his heart. He needed the deep-sea diving equipment for mining in the deep sea. If the deep-diving equipment was not big enough to carry the mining platform, then it would be useless.

In other words, the miniaturized diving equipment was not what Shi Lei needed!

However, when Li Chai walked out, Shi Lei stared at something behind him with a surprised expression. He gritted his teeth and said, "Li Chai, can you explain what that is?"

Behind Li Chai, there was a robot that looked like the Raider, but there was a clear difference between the two. The Raider looked like a smaller version of The First Light, while the robot looked like a naked version of the Raider. In other words, the Raider did not have any armor. It was a mechanical skeleton.

"Please allow me to make a grand introduction. This is the deep-sea explorer, the deep-sea diving equipment that I have researched!" Li Chai opened his right hand and directed everyone's attention to the deep-sea explorer.

Shi Lei frowned and asked, "Li Chai, are you really going to tell me that this is the so-called deep-sea diving equipment?"

"Of course!" Li Chai said proudly. "Stone Head, don't underestimate the capabilities of the Ocean Explorer! Although it looks a little shabby, its ability is definitely very outstanding. "

Shi Lei's mind became active. If the Ocean Explorer could really dive to the depths of the sea, and at the same time ensure normal communication, then with the humanoid design of the Ocean Explorer, it would definitely be competent for mining.

"I want to take a look at the design parameters of the Ocean Explorer!" Shi Lei said.

Li Chai snapped his fingers. "Izur, send the relevant information to Stone Head." Li Chai had long been used to Izur's cooperation. With Izur's help, Li Chai's research and development speed increased by more than ten times.

On the virtual transparent screen of the LIP lens-type information processor, the relevant parameters of the Ocean Explorer were displayed.

…

Ocean Trailblazer, Ocean Explorer:

Theoretical minimum operating temperature: -75 ℃

[Theoretical maximum diving depth: Unlimited]

…

At the end of the technical parameters of the Ocean Explorer, there was an important reminder that the Ocean Explorer did not have any armor design. Therefore, its defensive strength was very weak. If the power source was hit by a hot weapon, it would definitely lose power.

Shi Lei finished looking at the technical parameters of the Ocean Explorer, especially the last column. There was no limit to the diving depth of the Ocean Explorer?

"Little Li, the last line, does it mean that the Ocean Explorer can work in any marine environment?" Shi Lei asked.

Li Chai shook his head and denied Shi Lei's point. "No! Stone Head, pay attention to the operating temperature limit. If the operating temperature is above 675 ℃, the Ocean Explorer can only work normally for ten minutes. Similarly, if the operating temperature is below -75 ℃, the Ocean Explorer can only work for ten minutes. "

Shi Lei was puzzled. "There is such an extreme environment in the deep sea?"

Li Chai smiled bitterly. "Of course! The environment in the deep sea is very complicated. It can't be described in one or two sentences. Although negative 75 degrees Celsius was unlikely to occur, it was very common for temperatures to exceed 675 degrees Celsius. After all, in the deep sea, if there is a magma connection, then the temperature of the sea will exceed 855 ℃. "

Although the environment in the deep sea was dark and there was almost no source of heat, it did not mean that the temperature in the deep sea was very low. Due to the huge water pressure in the deep sea, the temperature in the deep sea was almost never lower than 9 ℃.

Some magma cracks hidden in the deep sea could indeed heat up the sea to a height of 855 to 955 ℃. However, the temperature of the sea would quickly drop beyond a meter.

Unless it was a large underwater hot spring that could form a simple ecosystem, only those large hot springs would form areas with super high temperatures.

The Ocean Explorer needed to avoid these areas to prevent the high temperature of the sea from causing the Ocean Explorer to malfunction.

"So that's how it is!" Shi Lei blushed with shame. He was indeed the world's top hacker, not the omniscient and omnipotent God. He did not even know the common knowledge of the deep sea environment.

This was the principle that there was a specialization in the field, and there was a hierarchy in the field.

"Little Li, about the communication of the Ocean Raider, how do we solve it?" Shi Lei asked.

The electromagnetic wave communication method was definitely not a good idea in the sea!

The sea was a natural electromagnetic wave shielding layer. This was because when electromagnetic waves propagated in the sea, the propagation current would cause the energy of the electromagnetic wave to decline rapidly. Moreover, the higher the frequency of the electromagnetic wave, the faster the rate of decline.

When the electromagnetic wave frequency reached the megahertz level, the penetration distance of the electromagnetic wave in the sea would not exceed 70 cm. The megahertz level of electromagnetic waves, perhaps without a visual comparison, it would be impossible to understand what level the electromagnetic wave was. For a visual comparison, the Wi-Fi network of wireless routers usually used 7.9 GHz radio waves, but there were also electromagnetic waves with 0 GHz frequency.

The electromagnetic wave frequency was a step up in the order of 6555. 7.9 GHz was equal to 7955 megahertz, which meant that the Wi-Fi network could not be set up in the sea.

Because of the characteristics of radio waves, it was definitely not an easy task to use radio waves to communicate in the sea, especially in the deep sea environment.

Of course, if one used a bit low-frequency wave, an ultra-ultra-ultra-low-frequency wave that was a thousand times smaller, preferably an electromagnetic wave with a frequency lower than 65 Hz, then the penetration distance of the sea would be extended to more than 0,555 meters, which could almost cover the entire deep sea.

However, the application of ultra-ultra-ultra-ultra-low-frequency waves was basically limited to exploring the sea terrain and was not suitable for transmitting information. After all, the lower the frequency, the less the amount of information carried per unit of time.

If one used 65 Hz radio waves to transmit data, the result could only be one word: Haha!

Shi Lei did not understand the deep sea environment, but Shi Lei understood radio waves! That was why Shi Lei asked how to solve the communication problem of the Ocean Raider.

Although the DIP Communication Research Company under the Mirage Technology Group had successfully developed neutrino communication technology. It was impossible to install a neutrino communicator for every Ocean Raider, right?

After all, if they really wanted to mine the N780 metal vein in the deep sea, then they would need to invest more than one or two Ocean Raider.

According to the cost of the neutrino communicator, even if Shi Lei had more than 85 billion US dollars in cash flow, he would not be able to afford the consumption of the neutrino communicator.

Li Chai smiled and said, "Of course it's the neutrino communication technology!"

This answer was not beyond Shi Lei's expectations. It was completely within Shi Lei's expectations. Shi Lei also expressed his own opinion about the drawbacks of the high cost of neutrino communication technology.

"Stone Head, you don't have to worry about the cost!" Li Chai seemed to have already guessed that Shi Lei would raise the issue of cost.

Shi Lei's expression was surprised. Could it be that the cost of neutrino communication technology had been reduced? If the cost of neutrino communication technology had really been reduced, Shi Lei would definitely completely transform the entire automated unmanned weapon corps!

Once all of them were transformed into neutrino communication technology, then the combat strength of the automated unmanned weapon corps would at least double!

However, could the cost of neutrino communication technology really be reduced?
